Patent number: 11023489Abstract: An asset tracking system helps an enterprise correctly and efficiently determine when assets are created and when they are re-used. Re-use of assets often creates a positive impact, e.g., on other projects ongoing within the enterprise. The system detects the asset re-use, determines the asset impact, and automatically updates a dynamic profile of the asset creator to register the value of their work. In some implementations, the system implements a virtual currency system that also rewards the supervisors of the asset creator, and allows the virtual currency to be exchanged for project resources needed by the supervisors.Type: GrantFiled: September 29, 2017Date of Patent: June 1, 2021Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS LIMITEDInventor: Alex Kass

Patent number: 10445671Abstract: A system may receive task information identifying tasks to be performed by workers of one or more crowds. The system may obtain worker information describing the workers. The system may determine task completion probabilities based on the task information and the worker information. A task completion probability may identify a likelihood that a particular crowd will complete a particular task. The system may determine crowd recommendation information based on the task completion probabilities, the task information, and/or the worker information. The crowd recommendation information may identify recommended crowds to which a task is recommended to be provided. The system may output the crowd recommendation information and/or the worker information to permit selection of the crowds to perform the task.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2015Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignee: Accenture Global Services LimitedInventors: Alpana Dubey, Gurdeep Virdi, Anurag Dwarakanath, Alex Kass, Sakshi Taneja, Suma Mani Kuriakose

Patent number: 10332046Abstract: A social collaboration workflow system embeds social collaboration functionality into the workflow process. The system identifies a location of a user device, and identifying a current activity associated with the user device based on the identified location. The system displays instructions for performing the current activity to a user interface on the user device, and displays an activity feed comprising a set of previously submitted activity feed posts that are related to the current activity to the user interface. The system determines whether the current activity has changed to a new current activity. If the current activity has changed, the system displays instructions for performing the new current activity to the user interface, and displays a new set of previously submitted activity feed posts that are related to the new current activity to the user interface.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2014Date of Patent: June 25, 2019Assignee: ACCENTURE GLOBAL SERVICES LIMITEDInventors: Srinivas Yelisetty, Alex Kass, Brett Goldstein, Masoud Loghmani, Gurdeep Singh

Patent number: 10223244Abstract: A device may receive test plan information, associated with a test plan for performing a test of an application, including information associated with a use case for which the application is to be tested. The device may obtain a test plan inspection model, associated with analyzing the test plan, including test plan rules. A test plan rule, of the test plan rules, may be associated with a condition for identifying a crowd-sourcing issue associated with implementing the test plan using crowd-sourced testing. The device may determine, based on the test plan information and the test plan rule, whether the condition is satisfied. The device may identify, based on whether the condition is satisfied, the crowd-sourcing issue as being associated with the test plan. The device may generate a recommendation associated with the crowd-sourcing issue. The device may provide information associated with the crowd-sourcing issue or information associated with the recommendation.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2016Date of Patent: March 5, 2019Assignee: Accenture Global Solutions LimitedInventors: Omar Tahboub, Alex Kass, Manish Mehta
